President Trump recently directed federal agencies to divert dollars away from racial sensitivity training on white privilege.

In a Sept. 4 letter addressed to the heads of executive departments and agencies, Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, wrote, “It has come to the President's attention that Executive Branch agencies have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to date ‘training government workers to believe divisive, anti-American propaganda” that “teaches or suggests either (1) that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or (2) that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil.”

Vought added, “The President has directed me to ensure that Federal agencies cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund...any training on ‘critical race theory,’ ‘white privilege,’ or any other training or propaganda effort.”

The president’s actions come as a growing number of Republican voters say they personally believe that systemic racism exists in the country today, according to a new report on “The Fight for Racial Justice in America” by Edelman, the global public relations and marketing firm.
